​Alarm clock screams, it’s time to wake up. You’re tired, restless, and beaten; you look at the ceiling and wonder, where is hope? Have you ever wanted freedom with such intensity that you just stayed in bed after the alarm clock assaulted your ear drums with ungodly decibels? Adding insult to injury you slept very little because of worrying about money. Your money is gone and the month isn’t. Have lost your job, or closed your business because of the economic meltdown? You aren't alone. Other people row that same boat. There are a rare few that have money, and peace in their hearts.The alarm clock continues to assault your ears as you pull your aching body with what seems a ton of steel attached to your back. This is the same game life plays with you every morning. You reach for that stupid noisy alarm, and finally muster up the strength to shut it off.Sluggishly you crawl out of bed, your mind twisting through the thick quagmire of the day ahead of you. You feel rotten; don't like yourself much less anyone else. No choice but to tolerate the next eight to ten hours, working if you are blessed to have a job, or spending endless hours online looking for a job, or opening your business.Is this what some people call insanity? You struggle this scenario as you make your way to the bathroom. There's that light on again. Doesn't anyone in this family understand electricity costs money and the electric company is overcharging to begin with. You fumble for the shower head. The water takes forever to get hot. Is that hot water heater acting up again?Gurgling as you brush your teeth see it, the tooth that needs a root canal and crown. Your mind sinks to the bottom of the deep black well of depression. Finally, your shower. The warmth of the water soothes your aching body.Time to get dressed; and struggle to the kitchen for the coffee pot. Ah, yes, caffeine hits the spot. You add the façade needed to become the chameleon for the day.And so, it goes day after day, until finally the years of stress overrule. You can't cope because of the depression you feel, can't get ahead, much less save and grow your money. Lower or lost wages and hyperinflation has taken you down.So, what's missing in your life? Hope is missing? It's still with you just hidden behind layers of the negativity onion in your mind. Life sucks! A good tool to help you peel away the rottenness you feel is gratitude. Every morning when you wake, thank God for your blessings. You do have blessings, right? Then thank God for the new blessings you will receive that day. Do this thirty days. Signs of change will begin to emerge to help you on your way to the life you desire. Go Here To Learn More About How I Changed My Life.
